Carol Zizak

This news comes almost two weeks after the Teen Mom stars were shown getting into a violent physical altercation on the MTV hit show.

According to RadarOnline, the two are putting the past behind them and solidifying their bond by exchanging promise rings. “They just bought each other new rings as a sign of their commitment,” Gary’s mother Carol Zizak told Radar.

“They’re promise rings where they’re promising to themselves that they’re going to work on their relationship, not date anyone else, and have a future for [their daughter] Leah.” RadarOnline reported last week that the couple has been in couples therapy for months.

Carol states the on-again-off-again couple, who have a 23-month-old daughter together, bought the rings in the last month. The domestic violence episode, which has brought on an investigation by the couple’s local police department and child protective services, was apparently filmed a few months ago.

And when it comes to Amber’s bad temper, Carol defends her. “I know Amber and I know she can get angry, but I also know she loves Gary and Gary loves her,” Carol said. “They both love each other very much.”
